I would like to see a clear path to how I can get my CA certificates in Mozilla!!

Stephen, if you haven't already done so, I suggest you do these steps:
1. Get yourself registered with bugzilla.mozilla.org, so that you can file a "bug" (enhancement request). You'll find some links to get started on bugzilla's home page.
2. File a "bug" about this. Settings as follows:
Product: NSS Version: 3.9 (the current version) Component: Libraries Platform: All O.S.: All Severity: Enhancement Assign to: Let the web page pick the current assignee. CC: Leave blank URL: The URL for your CA could go here. Summary: "Add QuoVadis CA cert to builtin trusted CA list"
Description: (Add a brief paragraph about your CA, how many root CA certs you have, maybe a bit about the steps you take to protect your private keys, your different "classes" of certs (if you have them), and how your decide (for each class, if relevant) whether or not to issue the cert (that is, whether the applicant is the named party). I suggest you mention what revocation facilities you have (CRLs, OCSP, etc.) This should be about a page long, or less. It should be just enough to convince the mozilla foundation that you're a serious CA. No great discussion needed. That will take place later, by email or other means.)
Depends on: 233453 (put that number in there) Blocks: leave blank. Security Sensitive Bug: Do not check this (it would hide your bug)
Click "Commit".
3. Then continue to participate in this newsgroup.
I'd also suggest that you add a single attachment to your bug, a text/plain file that contains your CA's root certs in base64 encoded form, with the usual ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE--- and ----END CERTIFICATE--- lines intact.
Some suggested do's and don'ts:
1. Don't put lots of advocacy or other discussion in the bug. 2. DO respond there to any questions asked of you by mozilla foundation members (mozilla.org staff). 3. Don't get hundreds of your friends to register their email addresses with bugzilla, and then add them all to the bug's CC list. That will not help your cause, and it WILL upset the mozilla staffers who have to deal with the problems when the bugzilla mailer gets stuck, as it sometimes does on huge cc lists.
